Jeb Bush blasts 'abhorrent' Trump shifts on immigration (CNN Useful Idiot Alert)
CNN ^ | 8/25/2016 | Ashley Killough

Posted on 08/26/2016 7:07:24 PM PDT by usafa92

Jeb Bush hammered Donald Trump Thursday after the Republican presidential nominee appeared open to major shifts on his immigration platform -- several of which echoed the former Florida governor's during the GOP primary fight. "All the things that Donald Trump railed against, he seems to be morphing into," Bush said in a radio interview with Rita Cosby of WABC. "It's kind of disturbing."

When the two men were competing in the Republican presidential primary, Trump advocated for deporting millions of undocumented immigrants and blasted politicians like Bush who wanted to allow some to stay and seek legal status as long as they met a wide range of criteria. Now Trump is apparently signaling a major shift in his policy, saying that he's open to working with undocumented immigrants rather than deporting them all. They won't be allowed to pursue citizenship, he said in a Fox News town hall Wednesday night, and they'll have to pay taxes.

Some have noted that Trump's comments are starting to sound more in line with policies that Bush proposed -- stances that Trump used to bash him during the primaries. "I don't know what to believe about a guy who doesn't believe in things," Bush said. "His views will change based on the feedback he gets from a crowd or what he thinks he has to do. Life is too complex."

During the primary, Bush repeatedly argued that Trump's deportation idea and proposal to build a wall along the border were "unrealistic" and wouldn't come to pass. Although Trump is suggesting a shift in his deportation policy, he maintains he will still put up a wall and make Mexico pay for it. When pressed on whether he was changing his policy, Trump argues that he's still going to enforce border laws.

Jeb finds it abhorrent that Donald Trump is adopting some of Jeb’s positions; i.e., focusing deportation on the violent illegal aliens, and pursing the normal course with respect to those who keep their nose clean.

The Donald has always emphasized that the problem isn’t immigrants or immigration, it’s illegal immigrants and especially violent illegals.

Trump has always said he was a beautiful wall with a golden door.

He opposes “amnesty,” which is code for a path to citizenship. He has sometimes been interpreted as favored “touchback,” meaning go back home and re-enter the U.S. legally. He is now indicating that he would consider some form of legal status (like a guest worker permit) for those who obey our laws and pay taxes (including back taxes).

Trump also wants to secure our borders. This is as much about control of gangs and drug trafficking, human trafficking, and terrorism, as about controlling illegal immigration.

Frankly, what’s wrong with Jeb that Jeb can’t get with the program? It’s called being a loser.

More low energy.

He must have just been told that the fix was in, and the nomination was his.

So why woke Yeb! up and Why? The RNC still planning on some way to make him the nominee after all?

It’s kind of disturbing that you were once a clever cocaine kingpin for your dad and yet when running for President you never looked smart enough to even snort a line of it.

I despise the evil SOB, too, since he is in league with the globalists to destroy the greatest Christian nation in the history of mankind and get our young Christian men all killed, maimed and on drugs. He is a Luciferean—like all the skull and bones secret society types, and Bohemian Grove grovelers to sex orgies with boys, who do the most disgusting things to others/and take oaths to demons-—followers of Lucifer, just like Hillary and Saul Alinsky—devil worshippers, and now, the Catholic pope.

Sheesh. I can’t make this stuff up!!! But do understand this is a spiritual battle for Good and Evil. The Evil now is in control of our Supreme Court and the White House—Satanists who will punish and imprison Christians and patriots (literally kill patriots like Finicum—no trial by jury (what’s that?????). They are trying to flood us with irrational, ignorant religious group-thinkers—dumb collectivists, so they will be able to subvert the vote.

They will go to hell if they don’t repent. I just look at Jebby and realize his sick, twisted, evil soul will be tormented for eternity, if he doesn’t pick up the mantle for Truth soon, denounce Satan, and help us bury the globalists/bankers/psychopathic sodomites and islam—the irrational Luciferean cult of Cain.

Without Virtue, we cannot remain Free. Either these Satanists go or we will collapse. We need people of Virtue in office-—the satanists have to be in prison—as do the satanists on the Supreme Court who promote Vice.

LOL, great gif. Look @ lil yebbie snarl @ Donald just before he goes full retard with a smug little grin.

So glad the Donald came along and humiliated all these assholes and exposed them for the frauds that they are, the GOPe.

I doubt we have free and fair elections anymore but even if Trump can't overcome all the election fraud that puts Hillary into power, Trump is a hero for having severely crippled the elite establishment Uniparty.

If God does put DJT in the WH, DJT must once and for all obliterate all the traitorous globalists: Bush, ALL OF THEM, by not only releasing the documents exposing their “activities”, but also making it a Presidential Speech, so that the Globalist networks can’t as easily “sweep it under the rug”. IMO

What’s funny and sad if Jeb would have gotten the nomination he’d still be destroyed by Clinton and her media flying monkeys.

Jeb was always about helping Hilliary assume control.
It was his turn to be the nominee to lose in the general, on purpose.When all the dirt comes out on the Clinton Foundation, you can bet Yeb is probably a founding donor because he's a Bush.

So awesome Donald humiliated him over and over until the final straw, when Jeb pleaded "please clap".

Sure, the Bush dynasty has always been secure border proponents.

Dallas Texas 2006, during war time, under Republican George Bush.

500,000 illegal aliens march on Dallas Texas pushing foreign flags in our faces and while making demands and threats. And this occurred in major cities all over the country. All while Bush celebrated Cinco De Mayo up in the White House every year...During war time.

He is very disappointed he did not get to be the Designated Loser like was originally planned. If the polls for Hillary get bad enough, both Yeb! and W. will endorse the wicked witch of Chappaqua. The Cheap Labor Express is determined the citizens will not reverse 30 years of bipartisan policy of non-enforcement of immigration laws.

Spot on my brother from another mother or sister from a different mister, you can truly see.

Good old Jeb! Momma told him not to run for POTUS, then someone either changed her mind or his. He was supposed to be the “presidential” figure in the family after dad, as I recall.

Kind of like the Kennedys. The eldest,”Joe,” was the chosen one, but was killed in WWII. Is my memory serving me correctly?
